Asbestos survey in Crockerhill
The type of survey you need in Crockerhill depends on what happens next: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We’ll recommend the right one. Typical jobs include contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and public and community buildings, involving boiler cupboard panels, floor tiles and flues.
Village properties around Crockerhill often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Questions from Crockerhill
Is asbestos common in Crockerhill homes?
If your home in Crockerhill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Crockerhill from London?
Crockerhill is about 51 miles from central London, well within our area.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not typically sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.

Weighing up your options
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not typically take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

What happens next
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Keeping things safe:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Things not to do
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive

- Pipe lagging

For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Common reasons for surveys in Crockerhill
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Pre-work surveys for trades
If you are a landlord near Barnham station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
What your quote should include
- The report contents
- The number of samples
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
